Nageshvara Temple, Hindu temple in Begur, India

The Nageshvara Temple features traditional Dravidian architecture with granite pillars, ornate carvings, and a square sanctum connected to multiple ceremonial halls.

The temple complex contains an inscription from 890 CE that provides the earliest written evidence of Bengaluru's existence in historical records.

Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple includes sculptures of Uma-Maheshvara, Mahishasuramardini, and a two-handed Ganesh within its ceremonial halls.

The temple maintains regular hours for worship, with entrance through balustraded steps located in the southwestern and northwestern corners of the structure.

The ceiling of the closed hall displays distinctive Western Ganga dynasty artistry, featuring eight panel sculptures arranged in square grids.
